Ich bin fest davon ueberzeugt, dass... (ue meaning u with umlaut) - I am firmly convinced that
Gruendsaetzlich stimme ich dem (nicht) zu - broadly speaking I agree/disagree

And then there are lots of ways of saying in my opinion
Meiner Meinung nach
Von meinem Standpunkt aus
Ich bin der Meinung, dass
Ich bin der Ansicht, dass
Es ist meine Ueberzeugnung, dass

For differen tenses

Ich wuerde sagen, dass - I would say, that
Es ist oft gesagt/behaupted worden - it has often been said/claimed

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, hope it helps!

The most important thing is that you include a weil or any justification afterwards to back your statements up!
